Further information

The IT-Project is not considered an extra-curricular “internship”, nor a pure academic lecture. In fact, students are guided both by domain experts or practitioners and university lecturers practically applying their acquired skills and developing new capabilities for project-related methods and tools. The students present their results orally and in written form (final report).
